Guest swan Report post Posted April 4, 2003 To say I'm shocked is an understatement: http://www.blistering.com/news/newsdet.php3?ID=4751 Even more shocking is the radio play. Has anyone heard them on a rock station yet? Great to see the success. Excellant band. Ozzfest will only help the cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mole Report post Posted April 4, 2003 Wow, this is the first time an all black band made the Top 200? I thought that would of happened a long time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest swan Report post Posted April 4, 2003 Wow, this is the first time an all black band made the Top 200? I thought that would of happened a long time ago. Not in the US. People would rather buy Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted April 4, 2003 Good for them. Now all they need is some death metal, and some hardcore music, up there aswell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted April 4, 2003 Wow, this is the first time an all black band made the Top 200? I thought that would of happened a long time ago. hahahaha They are NOT black. They PLAY "black" metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 4, 2003 How hard can it be to break top 200 with shit like Avril and Ja reigning supreme? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest swan Report post Posted April 4, 2003 How hard can it be to break top 200 with shit like Avril and Ja reigning supreme? Considering how many albums a year are released about 90% plus don't crack it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Galactic Gigolo Report post Posted April 4, 2003 Does anyone actually have access to the Billboard Top 200 on the web? I believe it's a pay thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it's a pay thing. http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/bb200.jsp You can get the top 100 without paying. I know soundscan is a pay thing too but some sites will pass info along like Metal Sludge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 4, 2003 They're getting radio play? That's amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted April 4, 2003 Ugh. As a Filth fan, I can honestly say that what I've heard from the new album absolutely blows ass. I think they hit their peak with Midian. Now its a slow fall to the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted April 4, 2003 I haven't heard their new album yet. My friend has it, he said he likes it. I hope Cradle of Filth is just the beginning, unfortunately the clearchannel rock stations around here haven't play them at all, so I still have to rely on the college stations.

Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 5, 2003 So what is the song that got them on the charts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted April 5, 2003 So what is the song that got them on the charts? Probably their single, "Babylon AD (So Glad for the Madness)". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Steviekick Report post Posted April 8, 2003 The top 200 chart really has nothing to do with singles and radio play; just with how many copies of the album have sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 8, 2003 So how long is it going to take for people to turn on them because of their success?? Oh.... Ugh. As a Filth fan, I can honestly say that what I've heard from the new album absolutely blows ass. I think they hit their peak with Midian. Now its a slow fall to the bottom. Odd. But honestly the band is really not that good at all. ...Nevermind In all seriousness, good to go for Cradle of F(ag)ilth. I never did like them anyways, but maybe that will open the way for some real metal to rule the charts. Mayhem? Cryptopsy? Skinless? Donde esta Shadows Fall (just for Corey there)? Six Feet Under is getting close to mainstream as well, which is alright... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 8, 2003 I almost bought the new album, but after hearing some bad things, I'm inclined to find someone who has it, and just burn the fucker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, I like Justin Timberlake, I'm not going to care about a little pop coming into things. I just think they've never been great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted April 8, 2003 I didn't turn on them because they've gotten success. I turned on them because the new album absolutely sucks. Its just a coincidence that it happened to be their major label debut. Hell, AFI had a major label debut this year too, and I consider that to be their best album yet. Cradle of Filth have deteriorated to a point of no return. They used to be evil, vampyric, all that shit (hell, one of their albums was dedicated to a mass murderer), now Dani Filth seems to be intent on becoming Marilyn Manson II.

Guest Dace59 Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Cradle have also be for the Mallgoth's anyway. Even Danni says they aren't Black Metal. It's more symphonic with on clump of black infulence thrown in. And to think they come from the same good old England than gave birth to Black Metal (not it's current form of course) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Yeah, they definitely aren't black metal. More of a Goth/Symphonic Version of Death Metal, if anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 9, 2003 Probably to a point, but whose aren't at least a little bit, anymore? I want to see them live and hear the new one, even if they've supposedly gone downhill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
